Recently I was playing in the Main Bridge Room as LHO to a contract of 3S. During the play of trick 9 the table suddenly changed to the list of games played, with a postulated result (an imposible result).
There had been no claim that I could accept or reject.
During Review of the game it says at trick 9: 10 tricks claimed.

I have experienced similar interruptions before.
What is the explanation?

If your partner concedes then you can't disagree. At least not at the time of the concession.

You can disagree with partner later as you're going through the hands.

Thank you Jacki. That's an explication.
But "The Rules of this Site", under "Guidelines for Undos, Redeals and Claims" say that:
"All members have the right to reject an undo, redeal or claim request for any reason".
So it's still a mystery to me.

The rules of the site are intended as guidelines on proper behavior. It's not appropriate to boot a player from the table because he rejected a claim, and you can't have a rule for your table that all Undo requests must be accepted.

That particular sentence is not a description of the technical features. When a claim or concession is made, only the opponents are given the opportunity to accept or reject it.

Thank you barmar. You say:
"When a claim or concession is made, only the opponents are given the opportunity to accept or reject it".

In the game I refered to it is of course possible that my partner, who couldn't see my good cards, would decide to concede the remaining tricks to declarer. But normally you see when your partner makes a claim or a concession, and I didn't see anything.
You always see when someone makes a claim or a concession.

It's still a mystery to me.
(The problem is not that I was "cheated" of a good result in a game. The problem is that BBO seems to break its own rules.)

But the review of the game explained: 10 tricks claimed.
Would that have been the explanation, if my partner had conceded?

The software doesn't distinguish claims and concessions in that message. When a board is finished before the last trick is played, it's considered a claim of the total number of tricks that declarer made.

I suspect the concession was simply accepted very quickly by declarer, and you didn't see the message.
